Walked past mens clothing section and noticed someone had set the Braun/Slam Car thing down there as well I've noticed with the last few releases (FB3, Fan Central shipper, Retros) that if you don't get the figures the moment they hit the shelves, they're gone within a day or so. I got lucky and got a set of Retros from Gibsonia when my wife stopped for groceries. The Waterworks location has consistently had sets disappear lightning fast, and I have a strong suspicion that one of the employees at Cranberry scalps figures.

I’m guessing that is exactly what is happening. I told you about my buddy grabbing me an AJ from the Survivor Series set and he even found that hidden in the store. No display, no other figures, and we were checking for them daily on Brickseek. There’s is DEFINITELY something going on with that store.

Something screwy happened with the Survivor Series/Fan Central shipper. The Monaca store showed them in stock, but the number would dip by 4-5 at a time, and then have zero sales for a week or two before dipping again. I was going to drive up, but I tried calling the store a few times just to ask if they were out on the pegs. Every time I called, I'd get put on hold for 10 minutes and nobody would ever take the call. I couldn't justify a 2 hour round trip if I wasn't even sure the figures were out for sale. Their stock dropped from 11 to 0 overnight, so I wouldn't be shocked if an employee saw they were hard to find and cleared out the stock to resell. It's a shame, because until recently this area had great when it came to the exclusives.

It's a shame, because until recently this area had great when it came to the exclusives. I went to that Monaca Walmart and it was total trash with the rudest employees in the tri state area. Im a full grown adult and a professional and I didnt even get treated this way as a child. And I wasnt even asking about figures there! Just total bungholes in general. Im not surprised you had issues. I am sorry though. You are right, the area is worse than ever after years of decency. Mattel is in more trouble than theyre showing after the TRU thing and the distribution issues theyve had lately are disheartening for the future of stuff like flashbacks etc

I had the same problem with fan central 2 only store by me that got em was 35 miles per way and the stock didn’t go down for about 2-3 weeks, and when it did I didn’t wanna go out there only for Carmella to be gone so I missed out on this set just like many others because of the horrible distribution of it.

I picked up the Epic Moments Shield three pack at FYE in the Palmer Park Mall in Easton today. It was only 50 bucks which is 5 cheaper than on rsc. Really surprised me since FYE always has everything priced higher than elsewhere. They had two left.

Was going through New Castle on the way back to Pittsburgh and the Wal Mart on State St had 1 each of the retros. Still needed Jericho so I grabbed him. Still had an HBK, Sheamus, and Kurt left

The Instagram account that has a pic of Black is definitely someone getting stolen figures or whatever cause they have Texas Tornado and Rated-R Lita. A different account on the comments claims to have seen NXT4, but who knows.

I’m not on Instagram I just clicked on the post that was posted in the NXT4 thread before it was removed.

My Walmart just got in the Basic Series 90. Looks like they had all except Kane. They had two of Ronda, I bought one of them.

Richland Target had what looked like a fresh case of NXT3. Roode and Ember Moon were there for anyone who is still looking for them.

Found Elite 63 at Walmart. At least 3 cases worth. Not a single goddamn Backlund. It’s almost like this is a very bad idea cause scalpers are gonna buy them all up

Should I even ask if anyone from PA has seen the latest Target NXT series in stores yet?
